IMR 8208 XBR was a far better choice than the H335 I had been using in a M4 5.56 NATO AR with 69, and 77 gr SMK’s. If that helps?

I forgot to mention Isso Bore paste, which I’ve had, and have it sitting around, but have never used it. Frank Green at Bartlein Barrels, and a few others had stated using it will wear down the rifling if used aggressively or often enough, and will remove metal! That said that it will clean a...

I’ve used most of my life Shooters Choice MC-7, until I switched to BoreTech back in 2018-‘19? What I found was BoreTech’s chameleon gel really gets rid of the carbon similar to JB Bore paste and Kroil I’ve used for 25 years and MC-7, CR-10 too with copper bullets. Both of those the off...

0000 steel wool, very light pitting.

Found these today. Make me an offer that includes the cost of shipping.

Sinclair International 1” Scope Lapping kit. Used very little, has not been used in years. Hence the surface rust on top which is not the primary surface for using it. I purposely put a photo of the rust so the buyer is aware. It’ll come off easily. $45 shipped USPS Priority Mail.

Great story, sorry to hear about your loss of a great friend! Nice work on the Coyote! I’ve known more than a few Ranchers who used the Swift, or the 22-250 on everything! Even Deer, and potentially even a Cow Elk? I just know they always had that rifle with them every where, and were...

Welcome to the forum! blkram and Dr. Mike are spot on unless what you’re using isn’t accurate!?! That said, if you’re wanting to test the 175 grain bullets IMR 7828 ssc is one of the best powders in a 280 with a 175 Partition! Those have been available in the last month, so you should be...

Welcome to the Nosler forum TD. I used to hunt have a Wby. Howa with a 22” #4 Hart barrel in one of their Fibermark stocks that seemed to shoot everything well! It loved RL-15 with any 140 grain bullet that was lead cup and core. The 160 AB it seemed to prefer H414, which is discontinued...

I picked up (4) boxes of 7mm PRC ADG Brass and a Redding Competition Seating die, along with a VLD Stem. It’s a shame they’re caliber specific, but as you can see from the rub mark on the bullet it matches it up PDG! I’ll polish it to remove the tooling marks and then it’ll be flawless for...

I realize this is an older thread, and love seeing the individual cartridges for the different game animals! But I realized that I seemed to just hunt with whatever was working really well for me at the time, and used that exclusively until I moved onto something else to hunt with after a few...

Well, who doesn’t know what a 30’06 is….. Well, that would probably be the newer kids on the block who are infatuated with the Creedmoor. My real first high-powered rifle was a 1960’s Model 700 30’06 Springfield BDL, but had the pressed checkering type stock with what had to be the longest...

Nothing wrong with being a little Euro considering they were developed long ago. 7mm Mauser was always a favorite. They made more than a few really good cartridges, that said I just didn’t want to deal with finding the brass for them, or if they would just disappear. So I sold the few I did...

I’ve been Turkey hunting for a few weeks now. I saw this Tom with seven Hens last night in my south pasture just before dark and knew they’d be flying down the next morning. I just didn’t expect it to take two hours!

I tried a Lot of the traditional powders for my Lott, but VV N135 really worked well behind more than a few of the 500 gr bullets I tested.

Is that a Peak 44 stock?

What you’re Not understanding is two fold. One is the case head is dimensionally off as you noticed between the two, which is why it won’t chamber. The other is belted mags have three points in contact, or control of headspace off the shoulder, the belt and the case head. Trimming the OAL...

Paul, If you’re going to stick with RL-17 try to develop your loads in the same environment as you will hunt in. That way you’ll have a better understanding of what velocity you’re going to be seeing when hunting? Back when I was using RL-17 as the sun came up it was usually on the chilly...

Man, all this 338/06 cartridge talk had me looking at a 22” Benchmark CF 1:9.5” .338 blank I could spin onto my Terminus Kratos 280AI. That said, my neck is sore just looking down at this moment reminding me why I sold all my .338’s! Over ten years ago I converted my 338 LM TRG/42 to a 8”...

If you’re curious about how long or short your chamber is Sinclair makes and sells a cheap $6 slug that will tell you exactly the OAL of your chamber. It’s listed as a Sinclair chamber length gage, and sell them in the caliber, .224, .243, .257, etc. you’ll need. Which will tell you when you...
